C50

Long Chenhao and Mu Yu were walking on the small forest path. After walking for an entire morning, the two of them had already left the Biyun City far away, and it was near noon. The weather was extremely hot, and because Mu Yu was wearing the Ocean Heart Armor, she did not feel it had dried up at all.

The surrounding lush trees felt rather eerie even in the daytime. They didn't see a single pedestrian along the way. However, this was the closest road to the Ancient Kingdom of Di Ran. Because the Biyun City had delayed for too long, even if the map Long Chenhao bought was filled with dangerous markings, he had no choice but to choose this road.

Actually, ever since Long Chenhao taught her the basics of cultivation, his cultivation speed had increased by leaps and bounds. He had already broken through to level 8 from level 7 long ago, and now that he had the power to reach level 9, he did not feel tired at all from travelling for such a long time.

"I don't want that!"

"…"

The sun had been hanging high in the sky the entire time. Even though the road was extremely wide, the surrounding dense forest became even hotter. Long Chenhao, who was sitting beside Mu Yu, felt that it had cooled down quite a bit.

The faint cry of a horse came from not too far away, and a group of people dressed in the attire of merchants appeared in front of Long Chenhao and Mu Yu. There was a long queue, the horses were carrying all kinds of goods, and on the two sides of the procession, there were even some people with weapons guarding the left and right side of the carriage.

"Young master, I think a caravan is coming."

"Yeah, but it's rare to see a caravan of this size in a place like this!" Are they not afraid of magical beasts? "

"This is the shortcut to Ancient Kingdom of Di Ran, the caravan will save a lot of expense while travelling here, I think the high profit is also the reason for them taking the risk to go forward!"

Long Chenhao felt that Mu Yu's words made sense, and nodded her head, quietly watching the approaching caravan.

Although this forest did not have any borders with the Magic Beast Forest, it was a large part of the wilderness. Adding on the fact that there were not many people around, some of the lower levelled beasts would make this road look more sinister and dangerous.

The caravan's vigilance was high, the two of them were seated beneath the tree, the group also stopped long ago, after a discussion, a middle-aged man ran over quickly.

"I wonder if young master is planning to head to Ancient Kingdom of Di Ran?" The middle aged man ran over and sized Long Chenhao up before he spoke.

Long Chenhao nodded and did not say a word.

The middle-aged man's face revealed a look of joy, "Young Noble, we are going to the Ancient Kingdom of Di Ran, I see that you two are cultivators, how about walking with us, we can look out for you on this dangerous journey."

Those with them were fine, but with such a large target, what would they do if some powerful magical beast caught sight of them?

The middle-aged man could clearly see the worry in Long Chenhao's heart, and said: "Young Noble, our caravan has hired a large number of mercenaries, and each of them are very powerful, and we will not treat you unfairly, as long as we reach Ancient Kingdom of Di Ran, our caravan is willing to pay you two 100 gold coins."

Long Chenhao looked at Mu Yu and said: "Alright then!"

Actually, Long Chenhao was not really lacking in those hundred gold coins. The main reason was because Mu Yu was of a lower level and it was her first time walking such a long distance, so it was unavoidable for him to feel a little uncomfortable.

"Then, I'll thank Young Master in advance."

The middle-aged man ran back again, and not long after, the caravan arrived in front of Long Chenhao. It was only when they got close to Long Chenhao did they realise that the scale of the caravan had far exceeded their imagination.

After the caravan stopped, the mercenaries spread out and surrounded the caravan. The size of this mercenary was not small, about 20-30 people in total.

Many of the mercenaries had cracks on their armour, and the cold air exuding from their swords and sabers showed that they had experienced much blood and battle.

Mercenaries had a long history on this continent. Most of them were people who did not train in the crown technique and would usually take on escort missions. Some of them would even be hired by large families to help them in battles.

Mercenaries earned a lot of money and were often accompanied by high risks. Sometimes, they would even be completely wiped out just to find a special herb. Even in front of money, there were still many people who came after them.

When the mercenary saw Long Chenhao and the other woman, his gaze was completely attracted to Mu Yu. The young lady's plain and simple appearance, along with the alluring appearance, caused these mercenaries who rarely saw girls to secretly rejoice in joy.

Long Chenhao released his divine sense to thoroughly inspect the surrounding mercenaries, and just like he had thought, they were all lower levelled crowns s.

"Sigh ~ Sigh, did you see that? That girl looks quite nice!"

"Yeah, he's much better than those mediocre fans in the brothels."

"Tsk, can those be compared with her? This girl is the prettiest one I've seen in such a long time."

"Do you think we should …"

"It's not suitable now. Let's wait until we reach the Ancient Kingdom of Di Ran to make our move! It was not easy to meet such a beautiful girl, and we just let her go.

Their voices were loud, and with Long Chenhao's hearing being stronger than the others, they were able to hear their discussions clearly. Mu Yu who was at the side also had an angry look on her face.

Hmph, as expected, it's not a good thing. My thoughts were actually on Mu Yu, I can't not teach you guys a lesson.

Long Chenhao stood up from the ground and walked in front of them. Without saying anything further, "Pa ~ Pa ~ Pa ~", he slapped their faces a few times. These mercenaries that had experienced hundreds of battles fell to the ground like broken puppets.
